Washington Times Makes Fun of Bowden
Kevin Brewer of The Washington Times doesn't have much nice to say about Jim Bowden in his story Losing Face:
He is employed by the Washington Nationals only because Major League Baseball runs a fairly decent temp service.
MLB made Bud Selig interim commissioner when everyone else thought he was washed up, and now look at him: He speaks before Congress and stuff.
Here's the other thing: Bowden isn't very good at his job.
It took the Cincinnati Reds about 11 years to figure this out. It probably won't take the Nationals' new owner as long.
It's not a story that really has much to say, but since we're looking to sweep the Nats today (as led by Ramón Ortiz, of all people), it seemed like a nice little bit of smack talk to share. Plus, it sorta made me laugh.
